Entrepreneurship

Please note: This is an LUC minor, not a Leiden University minor programme.

For many, entrepreneurship is foremost associated with business venturing. The identification and pursuit of financial opportunities are highly relevant in today’s constantly changing world. Existing companies and nonprofit organisations need to adapt continuously to changing markets and circumstances by identifying new needs and developing new products and services or even changing their entire strategic focus. This calls for professionals who have the resourcefulness and energy to realise when and what to alter to remain competitive. Increasingly, this need for change and flexibility also affects the individual and his/her character and stance towards the world. The primary aim of this minor is to inspire students to obtain an entrepreneurial mindset with a highly positive attitude to new opportunities and change. Students who seek opportunities as entrepreneurs or managers in the international business community or nonprofit sector will benefit from following this minor. Future leaders require in-depth insight in entrepreneurial and management principles.
